Calibration procedures for determining the radiation response characteristics of neutron measuring devices used for radiation protection.

The proposals of an ISO working group (ISO-TC85/SC2/WG2) for standardising the procedures to be used for the calibration of neutron measuring devices are summarised. Definitions and techniques are given both for type testing and routine calibration. The aim of the standard is to obtain calibration factors independent of the particular calibration facility or experimental technique employed
